But i am not able to find config ID for BAR , JOINT or any other element so i can pass it in selection set handle.

I am using command 

 

hwi OpenStack
set t [::post::GetT];

model$t GetSelectionSetHandle Elem_set1D_Bar$t [model$t AddSelectionSet element]
Elem_set1D_Bar$t SetLabel 'BAR 1D Elements'
# Elem_set1D_Bar$t Add 'dimension 1' ; #  instead of this line i wants to use below line so it will select only BAR element This line is Giving all 1 d elements

Elem_set1D_Bar$t Add 'Config id'    # but i am not able to find config id for bar element.
Elem_set1D_Bar$t GetSize;
Elem_set1D_Bar$t GetList; # Giving all 1 d element Joint ,BAR etc element
set set_1d [Elem_set1D_Bar$t GetID]

hwi CloseStack

 

 

can anyone help me to find config ID of all data type in hyperworks reference document.

Thanks,

    Hi Vikas,

    You can directly query the element config using Hyperview Query

    and then use it in Elem_set1D_Bar$t Add 'Config 56'

    Thanks Livil,

     

    It's working, for BAR it is 60.

     

    Thank you so much.
